Although Invest 98L continues to move away from Florida, we can expect the last burst of energy on Sunday afternoon to trigger a few storms before Florida is completely abandoned. The highest chance of receiving a few showers with one or two embedded storms is between 16:00 and 22:00. and 18.00, probably in places in the interior.

The Sunday evening stays warm, but rain-free.

Currently, the forecast track predicts that the storm will pass about 50 miles southwest of the community of Boqueron over the southwestern corner of Puerto Rico.

It is currently unknown if there will be any direct impact on Puerto Rico or the Dominican Republic. The error rate is after 3-4 days over 120 miles . This can make a big difference if you do not have an impact.

This is a relatively minor storm; tropical storm winds extend outward 25 miles from its center. Considering that it will invade a heavily sheared Caribbean, this system could be significantly weakened before it even approaches Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico and many of the Caribbean islands can use the rain, hopefully they will not be accompanied by winds and torrents, but after an El Niño phase, there were some areas that were very dry and under a drought.

Viewers wondered if this system could threaten Florida. It's too far to know that. Given that there will be major problems in the Caribbean, and then likely reach the high mountains in the Dominican Republic, this system is unlikely to be a major tropical threat to Florida.
